Budenholzer says Gist is 'Phenomenal'

[poeticism707]

This is old. Oh well!

Yep. Too bad it is looking more and more unlikely that Gist is able to play the perimeter effectively, at least this year.

What happened to the GIST from last SL!? GIST has not been 'Phenomenal' in these first two SL games from this year...

[The Truth #6]

Gist is probably going through the growing pains of playing on the perimeter. I'm not sure what he learned about the team game from Europe translates to these SL games. I don't think he should be judged solely by his lackluster play for the last two games. In some small ball situations he could probably still play the 4 and be the hustle guy that he was last year. Of course it's important for him to show an ability to exist on the outside. However, I think it's wrong to force him completely away from his strengths.

We'll see how this plays out. I wonder if the FO is waiting to see how Gist performs on the perimeter before making a decision to pursue packaging Bonner and Finley in a trade. It seems clear that Bonner is low on their depth chart with all the talk of needing an ass-kicking 4 and with the signing of the long-range shooting Haislip. Again, we'll see what happens next.

Personally, I think they should move Bonner and Finley ASAP. Given the winds of sanity that have been blowing through Spurs land, it actually might be considered.

James White!

I bet his Russian is almost as good as his Italian by now.

So has he been exiled long enough? Will he be back with us next season in order to secure at least 6 or 7 more les?

Hope springs eternal in the "I Hustle" ass.

That's jacked up.

I remember all the James Gist jokes 5-6 years ago.

This is EXACTLY what the spurs need to put them over the top for this season and the next few seasons to come. THE GIST. Dude is a beast. UN. STOP. ABLE.
